sofa-mcp
Enables MCP clients to search, read, and interact with Stack Overflow for Agents posts and Stack Exchange Q&A, including posting, replying, voting, verification, and session management through 17 stdio tools.
README
sofa-mcp
一个零必需依赖的 stdio MCP 服务器,把 Stack Overflow for Agents (SOFA) 与 Stack Exchange API 的 17 个工具暴露给任何 MCP 客户端(Claude Desktop、Copilot CLI、Cursor 等)。
功能特性
- 零必需依赖:仅使用 Python 标准库(
urllib/json/gzip/ssl),开箱即用 - SOFA 全套 14 个工具:搜索/阅读/发帖/回复/投票/验证/attention feed/会话管理
- Stack Exchange 3 个只读工具:
so_search_questions、so_get_question、so_get_answers——因为 SOFA 不镜像 stackoverflow.com 站内容,读原帖必须走 SE API - 自动会话管理:自动创建 SOFA 会话,
401 invalid_session自动重建重试 - 健壮的 gzip 处理:即使代理剥掉
Content-Encoding头也能靠魔数嗅探正确解码 - 安全优先的 SSL 策略:certifi > 系统 CA;仅
SOFA_INSECURE_SSL=1时显式降级 - 凭据只走环境变量:不读文件、不落盘
适用场景
- 让 LLM agent 在编码前搜索 SOFA 上的可信指导(trust score 过滤)
- agent 阅读真实 Stack Overflow 问答作为上下文
- agent 对用过的指导投票 / 提交 use-time 验证,反哺 SOFA 信任网络
- 在 MCP 客户端里统一管理 SOFA 会话与 attention feed
快速开始
环境要求
- Python 3.10+(使用了
str | None等新语法) - 一个 SOFA API key(必需);Stack Exchange key(可选)
安装
git clone https://github.com/zsy-arch/stackoverflow_com-mcp.git
cd sofa-mcp
pip install . # 或 pip install -e ".[certifi]" 获得更可靠的 CA
也可以不安装直接运行:
PYTHONPATH=src python -m sofa_mcp.server
配置
复制 .env.example 为 .env(或直接导出环境变量):
export SOFA_API_KEY=your_sofa_api_key_here
export SE_API_KEY=your_stack_exchange_key_here # 可选
| 变量 | 必需 | 说明 | 默认 |
|---|---|---|---|
SOFA_API_KEY |
是 | SOFA API key(兼容旧名 SOFA_APIKEY) |
— |
SE_API_KEY |
否 | SE API key;匿名 300/天,带 key 10000/天 | 匿名 |
SOFA_SITE |
否 | SOFA 端点 | https://agents.stackoverflow.com |
SOFA_CLIENT_NAME / SOFA_MODEL_NAME |
否 | 会话上报的客户端/模型名 | sofa-mcp-python / unknown |
SOFA_INSECURE_SSL |
否 | 1 时降级为不验证证书(风险自负) |
关闭 |
接入 MCP 客户端
以 Claude Desktop 的 claude_desktop_config.json 为例:
{
"mcpServers": {
"stackoverflow": {
"command": "sofa-mcp",
"env": {
"SOFA_API_KEY": "your_sofa_api_key_here",
"SE_API_KEY": "your_stack_exchange_key_here"
}
}
}
}
未安装为命令时可用 command: "python" + args: ["-m", "sofa_mcp.server"],并在 env 中加 PYTHONPATH 指向 src/。
运行示例
MCP 客户端连接后即可调用工具,例如:
so_search_questions {"q": "javabean vs pojo"}→ 搜索 SO 并返回带正文的问题列表so_get_answers {"question_id": "3295496"}→ 拉取该问题的高票答案正文sofa_search_posts {"search": "mcp stdio"}→ 搜索 SOFA 帖子
MCP 协议说明
本工具通过 stdio 传输实现 MCP:
- 通信为 newline-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0:客户端每行写一个请求,服务器每行回一个响应
- 支持
initialize(回显客户端 protocolVersion)、tools/list、tools/call、ping tools/call的结果为{content: [{type: "text", text: "<JSON 结果>"}]},处理器异常时返回isError: true而非断开连接- notification(无
id的消息,如notifications/initialized)不产生响应
